Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Questions from North Cadbury

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Any details about the material

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in North Cadbury, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in North Cadbury?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

If you’re in North Cadbury and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
